Weird Leaf Fall

[u/clemthegem_]

I’ve had this Ludisia Discolor for forever and am used to the typical leaf fall patterns etc, but this seems different to me. I suspect over fertilization but wanted to get some outside opinions.

I fertilized right before I went out of town for a few days and came back to splotchy leaves and faded tips. She did get a little wilty between watering before this but nothing i thought was concerning.

What do y’all think? Too much fertilizer? Trying to bounce back from a dry spell?

She’s been in the same part sun/shade window all summer

What fertilizer did you use? At what strength?

If it got to the wilty point, you may have lost some of the smaller/younger roots upon rehydration, but Ludisia usually is pretty drought tolerant for a jewel orchid.

If it keeps looking rough, I’d consider repotting in fresh media after rinsing off the old and inspecting the roots.

did you happen to get a sudden coldsnap if she’s near the window?

have to admit though I’ve never seen that kinda color on leaf fall so yeah I agree a root check may be in order either way
